- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp coarse kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 °F.

- To a parchment paper-lined baking sheet with a cooling rack, add the chicken.
- Coat the chicken with avocado oil. With clean hands, rub the chicken on both sides until evenly coated.
- Season both sides of the chicken with the dried seasonings. Rub the chicken with the dry rub until it's evenly coated.
- Place the chicken skin side down on the rack.
- Bake for 25 minutes.

- Bake the chicken, skin side up, for 15-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
- Add more sauce to the chicken if you like, but make sure you don't use the original pastry brush, as this could contaminate the chicken with raw chicken juice.
- Broil on high (500 °F) for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
- Remove from the oven and top with fresh parsley.
